Here is a Minolta MC W. ROKKOR-HG 35mm f2.8 wide-angle lens.
You probably don't know it, but Minolta made 16 versions of it's manual-focusing 35mm f2.8 lens. This auction is for the FIFTH version.
- This lens has a Minolta MC lens mount, and will fit and function perfectly on any manual-focusing Minolta SLR (from the first SR-2 to the last X-370), as well as many other SLRs from Seagull, Phoenix, Kalimar, Soligor, Vivitar -- that have a Minolta SR lens mount.
- It will also work on any Minolta MAXXUM film camera with an appropriate adapter -- NOT INCLUDED.
- It will also work on Minolta or Sony DIGITAL DSLR cameras with an appropriate adapter -- NOT INCLUDED.
- It will also work on many other DIGITAL cameras with removable lenses (Canon, Nikon, etc.) with an appropriate adapter -- NOT INCLUDED.
The lens is compact, has a 52mm filter thread, very lightweight, has all-metal construction, has distance marked in feet and meters, IR mark, click stops at all half-f-stops, and is multi-coated. It also features a stop-down button -- designed for cameras that lacked that feature. Here are its specs:
